What a terrific white Rioja this is! Bottled by Morrisons and produced by Baron de Ley, though I strongly suspect this is the ‘Tres Viñas’ Reserva that they themselves bottle.
Aromas of nectarine, honey, caramel and vanilla. There is an element of petrichor / wet gravel on the palate that adds a refreshing quality. Medium acidity. Very full bodied, but not rich - has a strong minerality. Incredibly well balanced and long. — 4 years ago
No me canso de este vino. Es importante decantar por los 40mins mínimos sugerido. Solo falta decir que es exquisito... ...realmente impresionante. — 8 years ago
Siempre había tenido ganas de probar este vino. Normalmente, en los restaurantes nos ofrecen el Reserva (que no está nada mal), pero este Gran Reserva es una delicia.
A la vista tiene un color rojo vibrante y demuestra que es un vino evolucionado.
En nariz destacan frutos rojos y maduros, cereza, especias negras como el clavo y la vainilla.
En boca resalta la madera con una pista de bourbon, frutos maduros, acidez y taninos balanceados y buen cuerpo. — 3 years ago
Huge amount of Aroma here... Bacon fat sizzling in an iron skillet covered from the elements by an old, lighting struck barn.
Black pepper, Maui Xmas pepper berry, cherry skin, plum skin, dried alpine berries. Flint, sea derived saline.
Finishing with tangerine like acidity, pine resin and vegetal garden stalk
I called it on the nose - this grape is a genetic match to the Black Mission grape, AKA Pais, AKA Criolla. — 6 years ago
Vino canario, blanco fermentando en barrica. Mucho mejor en boca que en nariz. Se le aprecian los citricos y su crianza en barrica. Me gustó — 8 years ago

Very good, didn’t know what to expect but great body, smooth with power that’s no overkill. Perfect with spicy pizza while watching Champions League football! — 3 months ago
